Lando Norris was third for McLaren.

It was a disastrous race for Ferrari, racing on its home soil and hoping to celebrate a return to F1 dominance. Charles LeClerc came into Sunday as the championship leader with two wins in the first three races and Carlos

Sainz Jr. Celebrated a two-year contract extension this weekend in Italy.

But LeClerc couldn't get the jump on Verstappen at the start and never contended. Sainz spun off course on the opening lap to ruin his race, and LeClerc's bid to salvage the day for Ferrari ended when he spun racing Perez for second.

He ultimately finished sixth.

The race featured a stirring late battle between Mercedes newcomer George Russell and Valtteri Bottas, the driver he replaced. The two went down to the final lap for fourth position, with Russell holding off the veteran for the spot.

Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile. Continued his early struggles and finished 13th. Mercedes head Toto Wolff apologized to Hamilton over the radio for the 'undriveable'&nbsp;car that Hamilton was given in Italy.

Umran Malik has been a revelation in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The youngster, who was retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad, has been bowling at express speeds and has already taken 10 wickets in the tournament – impressing both experts and cricket fans alike.

Umran Malik was on song once again on Saturday as he took 1/19 in four overs against Gujarat Titans and even bowled the fastest delivery in the tournament till now - 153.3 kmph.

Sameen Rana, who is the owner of Pakistan Super League franchise Lahore Qalandars, praised the young fast bowler and compared his rise to Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf.

"I am very happy that Lahore Qalandars have not just impressed Pakistan cricket but also Indian cricket. If you look at Umran Malik's story, you will see that it has been a Haris Rauf-inspired story. Maybe they had followed Haris' story and must have thought if it can happen in Pakistan, then why not in India. Because there are a lot of similarities. Both started from tennis-ball cricket, are from Jammu and Kashmir, no background in first-class cricket," Rana told Paktv.tv in an interview.

Malik said that both Malik and Rauf did not have any first-class cricket experience before making it big and hinted that the story of Rauf may have inspired India to try out a similar experiment.

"I have never seen that happen in IPL before. And it happened until Haris, who became a success and gave others a new pathway. I hope it doesn't happen to Umran, but we were criticised a lot when Haris was in our team that we killed domestic cricket and affected the sport. But today, he is Pakistan's pride. When he goes abroad and plays for teams like Yorkshire, they call him 'Pakistani superstar'. So, we have given cricketers a new pathway and I want to take credit for that," he added.

Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav was all praise for skipper Rishabh Pant and said that the youngster is showing signs of MS Dhoni when it comes to his understanding of the game.

Pant took over the captaincy of Delhi Capitals in the middle of the 2021 season after Shreyas Iyer was injured and he was able to take them to the play-off stages of the T20 competition.

There was a controversy surrounding a contentious decision regarding a no-ball in the final over of the match which resulted in a heated discussion between Pant and the on-field umpires.

IPL 2022: Shikhar Dhawan on cusp of becoming second player after Virat Kohli to achieve massive feat

The drama surrounding the no-ball controversy during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 encounter between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals had experts split in their opinion.

In the final over of the match, DC needed 36 runs to win, and the situation got even more interesting as Rovman Powell slammed compatriot Obed McCoy for three sixes in the first three deliveries. The third six came off a full-toss and DC were convinced that the ball was above the batsman’s waist.

However, the umpires were not convinced and that resulted in an extreme reaction from DC skipper Rishabh Pant who went to the extent of calling the batsmen back to the pavilion. Assistant coach Pravin Amre even entered the pitch in protest, but the umpires did not change their decision.

DC were beaten by 15 runs in the end and a lot of experts were not happy with Pant’s conduct.

IPL 2022: Will Rohit Sharma make changes? Mumbai Indians predicted XI vs Lucknow Super Giants

Erik ten Hag looks increasingly likely to be taking over a Manchester United team missing from the Champions League.

Potentially a squad of superstars in disarray, too.

Despite Cristiano Ronaldo making an emotional scoring return, United was beaten 3-1 at Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday and dropped six points off its rival in the race for a top-four finish.

Granit Xhaka blew kisses to the home fans who have often criticized him&nbsp;after his long-range, 70th-minute strike clinched victory for Arsenal in a wild game at Emirates Stadium that saw the hosts lead 2-0 after 32 minutes on goals by Nuno Tavares and Bukayo Saka before withstanding a fightback from United launched by Ronaldo's 100th Premier League goal.

The Portugal superstar, who missed the 4-0 loss to Liverpool on Tuesday while grieving the death of his newborn son, raised his left arm and pointed to the sky after scoring in the 34th minute.

Ronaldo might have had a chance to score an equalizer when United was awarded a penalty in the 55th after the ball struck the raised hand of Tavares at a corner. But instead of Ronaldo taking the spot kick, compatriot Bruno

Fernandes took over and sent a weakly hit effort against the outside of the post following his trademark stuttering run-up.

To make matters worse for Fernandes, it was his miscontrol that gave Xhaka the opportunity to take aim and claim the crucial third goal for Arsenal, which climbed into fourth place above north London rival Tottenham.

"If you look at the table",&nbsp;interim United manager Ralf Rangnick said, "I don't think it's very realistic to dream and think of the top four."

Sixth-place United has four games left of a miserable season that will end with no trophies&nbsp;for the fifth straight year and see Ten Hag take over from Rangnick, the second of two caretaker managers installed by the club since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired in November.

Ten Hag has a major job on his hands to rebuild United into the trophy-winning force of old. Rangnick said Friday the team needed open heart surgery as opposed to cosmetic changes and he was just as blunt a day later in assessing United's current problems.

"I think the whole group get on reasonably with each other.&nbsp;I'm daring to say they get on well with each other",&nbsp;Rangnick said.

"Quite obviously it's hard to motivate ... To keep the energy level high," he added.

This was another worrying defensive display after United's mauling by Liverpool.

Club captain Harry Maguire was left out by Rangnick, because of a combination of the England defender's poor recent form and the fact he received a bomb threat at his home during the week.

"After all the issues Harry had to deal with, it was a tough week for him,"&nbsp;Rangnick said.

Saka went off injured midway through the second half but he had already done his damage by then. It was his curling shot that was palmed out by David De Gea straight to the feet of Tavares, who turned the ball home from close range in the third minute.

Then Saka scored a penalty for the second straight game&nbsp;after doing so in the 4-2 win over Chelsea on Wednesday after he was bundled over by Alex Telles. Eddie Nketiah pounced on the loose ball and converted his shot but was adjudged offside, only for VAR to spot the foul on Saka in the buildup.

Erik ten Hag looks increasingly likely to be taking over a Manchester United team missing from the Champions League. Potentially a squad of superstars in disarray, too.

Erik ten Hag looks increasingly likely to be taking over a Manchester United team missing from the Champions League. Potentially a squad of superstars in disarray, too. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo making an emotional scoring return, United was beaten 3-1 at Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday and dropped six points off its rival in the race for a top-four finish. Granit Xhaka blew kisses to the home fans who have often criticized him after his long-range, 70th-minute strike clinched victory for Arsenal in a wild game at Emirates Stadium that saw the hosts lead 2-0 after 32 minutes on goals by Nuno Tavares and Bukayo Saka before withstanding a fightback from United launched by Ronaldo's 100th Premier League goal.

Ronaldo might have had a chance to score an equalizer when United was awarded a penalty in the 55th after the ball struck the raised hand of Tavares at a corner. But instead of Ronaldo taking the spot kick, compatriot Bruno Fernandes took over and sent a weakly hit effort against the outside of the post following his trademark stuttering run-up. To make matters worse for Fernandes, it was his miscontrol that gave Xhaka the opportunity to take aim and claim the crucial third goal for Arsenal, which climbed into fourth place above north London rival Tottenham. "If you look at the table", interim United manager Ralf Rangnick said, "I don't think it's very realistic to dream and think of the top four." Sixth-place United has four games left of a miserable season that will end with no trophies for the fifth straight year and see Ten Hag take over from Rangnick, the second of two caretaker managers installed by the club since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired in November. Ten Hag has a major job on his hands to rebuild United into the trophy-winning force of old. Rangnick said Friday the team needed open heart surgery as opposed to cosmetic changes and he was just as blunt a day later in assessing United's current problems. "I think the whole group get on reasonably with each other. I'm daring to say they get on well with each other", Rangnick said. "Quite obviously it's hard to motivate ... To keep the energy level high," he added. "That's why it was still important to show some improvement and a reaction today, which was the case. Obviously there is no substitute to success."

It has been a horrible Indian Premier League (IPL) season for Virat Kohli till now. The former Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper has struggled to find his form in the tournament, and he was dismissed for his second successive golden duck of this competition in Mumbai on Saturday.

Kohli was dismissed for a golden duck just thrice in the IPL between 2008 and 2021 but this season alone, he has achieved the unwanted record twice as he was dismissed by pacer Marco Jansen.

During the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, Kohli was forced to come out to bat in the second over of the match as Faf du Plessis was dismissed cheaply. Kohli was expected to steady the innings after the early jolt but he felt victim to Jansen on the very first ball that he faced.

Jansen kept the ball around the fourth stump line outside the off-stump and Kohli ended up edging it straight to Aiden Markram who was strategically placed in second slip just before the delivery.

Gujarat Titans leg-spinner Rashid Khan became the second overseas spinner ever in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to take 100 wickets in the competition as he achieved the impressive feat by dismissing Venkatesh Iyer during the match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday.

During the 14th over of the encounter, Iyer misjudged a flipper from Rashid as he heaved it towards the midwicket boundary and Abhinav Manohar completed the catch quite comfortably. As a result, Rashid became the first overseas spinner since Sunil Narine (149 wickets) to take 100 wickets in the IPL.

It was Rashid’s 83rd IPL match and he is currently joint third fastest to the 100-wicket mark in the competition along with Amit Mishra and GT head coach Ashish Nehra. Sri Lanka legend Lasith Malinga tops the list with 70 matches while Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 100 wickets in 82 matches.

Rashid finished with figures of 2/22 as GT defeated KKR by eight runs in a last-over thriller. Andre Russell played a blinder towards the end of the match with 48 runs off 25 deliveries but a tidy final over from Alzarri Joseph made sure that GT moved up to the top of the IPL points table.

Earlier, skipper Hardik Pandya led the team by example as he slammed 67 off 49 deliveries but a late four-wicket haul from Russell did not allow them to post a big total. Russell took all of his four scalps in the last over of the GT innings after Tim Southee took three wickets in the middle overs.

IPL 2022: Rashid Khan becomes second overseas spinner to achieve massive milestone in Indian Premier League

Former England cricket team skipper Michael Vaughan was all praise for compatriot Jos Buttler who scored his second consecutive century for Rajasthan Royals on Friday. The explosive opener slammed his third hundred of the IPL 2022 as he guided his side to victory over Delhi Capitals.

Vaughan, who led England to their historic Ashes victory in 2005, said that Buttler is the best T20 player in the world and his batting is improving with time as is evident in the Indian Premier League.

"Jos Buttler, the best T20 player in the world. It's a no-brainer. As soon as you get the chance to retain someone like Buttler, you do it. You stick him at the top of the order, and you watch him flourish. His form, expertise, power, and skills are just getting better and better," Vaughan said.

Vaughan also backed the 31-year-old to lead England in the T20I sometime in the future.

"I think he's just going to be a white-ball specialist. And I still think he can improve. He will be the England captain in T20s; I don't think it could be too far away. If not for this World Cup, definitely for the next one. He's that sort of a cricketer," Vaughan said about Buttler’s future prospects.

Buttler is leading the race for the IPL orange cap with 491 runs in 7 matches and with three centuries to his name, he is the best batsman in the tournament right now. He has been instrumental in his team’s success as they sit at the top of the points table after their win over Delhi Capitals.
